Animated indicators (turn signals) with Arduino, FastLED and a WS2812B LED strip.
I was recently asked how to connect a Arduino to a car lighting circuit to control some LED strips. As there are a number of ways to do that, I thought I'd go through some of my ideas here. This video is a bit more technical and less flashy than the last few, so if that's not you're thing you can skip this one!
